I am looking to replace my defective rezound with a maxx hd. Before owning the rezound I had 7 og droids, and 5 bionics. All were plagued with a headphone jack that stopped working shortly after getting the device. Did motorola resolve this, or are the phones still made with the same inherent design flaw that caused me so much grief?

Hey Guys,
Didn't see this for the Inspire - how do things work for this phone with bluetooth car stereos specifically pushing your contacts. I've always had problems with this issue with my Evo I dumped and my iPhone 4 is easy as pie. I'm giving that to my wife because I miss Android and want an HTC see again any thoughts ASAP? Going to buy tomorrow most likely and I'm thinking this or Infuse or Atrix since both of the others have front facing camera and I can do vid with the kids and such when I'm traveling.
Thanks!
Hello everyone,
i have a htc desire hd since 9 months and I have changed (freely from customer service) 3 time the headset. every time that an headset is broke, the microphone and the Control buttons stop working.
Has anyone had problems with the original headphones?
I'm thinking that it's a hardware problem on phone that broke the headset.What do you think about?
ps: sorry for the bad english
My stock headset is also broken after a few months use. Same problem as you described , microphone and buttons stop working. This is however expected, as the button works by shorting out the microphone. I don't think it's possible for the phone hardware to cause such damage. It would appear that the issue is caused by damaged wiring. I've been using a different headset for the past few months with no issues.

I've probably had about 4 replacements now as they keep breaking after about a month or so. Luckily they are cheap from amazon.

These headsets are just not so good, I have had 4 replacements to already and my DHD is already 11 months old. The replacements where free but when I called last week for a replacement they said: On accessory is only 6 months warranty, so now I just have to hope the stereo sound keeps working atleast.
The remote control still works to but often does not seem to respond so well. Its to bad there is not another headset like this from a better brand and also buying a new one would cost € 20 and its not worth if you ask me.
So I think it would be best to buy a bluetooth headset as any investment in a normal headset might not be worth it.
You can get 4-5 pound replacements on Amazon. They are exactly the same. Type in rce e160 on amazon

thank's for your answers.the original headset is definitively not good, i don't want to buy a new one every month.
someone could recommend me an in ear headset with remote control?
So let me just start this off by saying that I'm not a firm believer in one side or another. I've used a Galaxy S3 and E5 extensively (over a year each) and I've had my s7 for 6 months or so. I also used a IPhone 5 and iPad air for over a year each. I currently use a 2012 MacBook for school work and use my self built pc for everything else.
IMHO, my best experience with a phone is probably a tie between a jailbroken iPhone 5 and an Galaxy E5 running CM13. On one hand, the jailbroken iphone offered all the customizability that stock android offers and more, and was a joy to use. The E5 running Cyanogenmod was incredibly snappy and was just an amazingly customizable experience.
Now that that's out of the way, I want to know, what are your thoughts on the Galaxy S8 not having a headphone jack? I honestly might revert to IPhone use from my S7 when I upgrade unless it has an unlocked bootloader. I don't link the standard that Apple set and I have headphones which I paid good money for, which will become basically obsolete. I know that people over here at XDA will find a way to root it even if it's unrootable out of the box, but I also know that the Pangu team will probably find a way to jailbreak iOS 10-11, and if they do I'm probably switching back to iPhone. I stayed with my S7 over waiting for the iPhone 7 mainly for the headphone jack, root, and wireless charging.
So what will you guys do, stick with Samsung or switch to an apple product. I'm really curious to see how the community will react to this.
My next phone will not be a Samsung especially if they dont have headphone jacks. If the s7 gets the bootloader unlocked i will stick with it for awhile tho. If not i will probably go towards google for my next phone. I will never own an iPhone again i hated everything about my 5S lol
I started a new job back in August and i was told that we are able to listen to music, but the headphones must be wireless because of safety around equipment. i bought a pair of Aukey headphones that were $10 on Amazon. Ever since then, i have not wanted to go back to wired headphones. This is one of those things that i feel is easy to go against, but once you try it, you'll love it. Now of course i can understand why audiophiles are not pleased in addition to the average consumer. I think the S8 will be fine without a headphone jack. Bluetooth is just so convenient. As more companies ditch the headphone jack, the technology behind it will get better faster. Although, for now the S7 is my last samsung device because of how locked down it is to rooting. I will go to a pixel in a year or 2.
I haven't used wired headphones in years except to try out the free headphones I got with my v20. I work in a shop so wired headphones would be a safety Hazzard, plus Bluetooth is just so much more convenient. I do however not like the idea of taking something like a headphone jack out of a phone. You may not always use it, but there are times when you'll wish you had one. With that said I do plan on getting the s8+ because I really miss Samsung even after the note 7 fiasco, but I'm too impatient to wait for the note 8.

I could care less.
In all the phones Ive had over many years I have never even opened the headphones let alone plugged a set in to one of my devices.
So yeah, not something I will even notice if its gone LOL

Galaxy S phones were never good audio player anyway, for that you must get an HTC, this is crazy when you know samsung were the mp3 player kings with the P2 and P3 couple years ago

The problem is that a dedicated headphone jack occupies space. To include it in a phone of a given size, you have to skimp on something else that is more useful. So I'm in favor of removing the jack.
i don't care
bluetooth tech is become better and better so i don't need to think about high quality sound through wires or bluetooth.
i think it didn't use headphone jack for 2 yrs! it s just become dusty hole for my phones! anyway I don't like iPhone
It'll be a deal breaker for me. I don't have to have the thinnest lightest phone possible, but I do have to have a headphone jack. I loved my Note 7 and my Note 7 version 2, but now I'm rocking a V20 which admittedly has way better audio quality than Samsung's ever had. I'd still go back to Samsung for the screen though as long as it has a headphone jack.
Lack of headphone jacks don't bother me since I use BT headphones but I can understand why you would want one of you're an audio enthusiasts.

My Nexus 6P has started dying at 40% battery and I'm looking for a new phone. I use my phone to listen to music a lot, and so the 'quad dac' of the LG v30 appeals to me, especially as the audio output of the 6P seemed kind of weak but I'm concerned by LG's track record.
The other contender being the HTC u11 as its slightly cheaper, and has the Usonic headphones (though I've heard mixed things), only negative is I'm still not entirely sold on USB C audio and having to carry dongles around with me. The HTC U11+ looks interesting, but is hard to get here so would probably be getting the smaller version.
Short Version: LG v30 or HTC u11?

I'm an audiophile, and I simply install Viper4Android and it makes 90% of my phones sound even better and my headphones...and I use Bluetooth headphones haven't touched he type c ones that the phone came with...
For listening to music with earphones you can't beat the LG v30.
HTC U11 with the 6 gb RAM/128 gb storage version is better than the LG V30.
My Pixel XL is pretty much on it's last legs, I cracked the back, I have screen burn, it's overheated on me and it just generally feels sluggish. Everything is pointing me to get the One Plus 6 apart from the speakers - I have read and watched people say that the speakers are just tinny and don't sound great.
This could be a deal breaker for me, as I do listen to music on the phone and watch videos without headphones and/or casting - roughly about an hour or two a day.
I'm trying to decide whether I should go cheap with the One Plus 6 or whether I wait for the Pixel 3 XL.
I read someone on twitter state that an update fixed speakers sounding tinny - now I know this is hardware so nothing will really change - however can someone confirm that the speakers have got better via an update? As the videos I have watched and more than likely created when the device was released (pre-update).
I used to root my device left right and centre at any chance I could get - but due to work commitments and generally less free time to when I was younger, I don't want to have to mess around rooting, applying patches for Android Pay and other apps with Xposed just to improve an audio hardware issue - as I suspect some of you will point me to Viper4Android.
Thanks in Advance!
The speaker is fine, sounds better than the Pixel XL, slightly lower quality than OP5T because of the waterproofing
Yeah, I could even end up getting the OnePlus 6 and then buying the Pixel 3 XL later down the line. I just didn't want to get to the phone and then be so disappointed by the speaker that I send the phone back in accordance to their 15 day return policy.
